Payton Millie
3 Years 4 Months
1 - She LOVES to color lately. I know most kids this age do but for the past 6 months or so she showed no interest what so ever and now all of a sudden she asks to color everyday. She is really good at it too. She colors general areas of the picture and only gets a little out of the lines. I don't know if that is common for her age but it surprised me.
2 - She is very musical. She loves to sing and lately she likes to make up her own words to familiar tunes. For a 3 year old they actually are very creative. Whenever we go to my parents house she wants to play the piano and she plays songs (not just pounds on it) and sings her own words. It is so cute.
3 - She is so excited for Halloween. For a good two weeks solid she said she wanted to be a doctor for Halloween. I was so excited because I thought for sure she would want to be a princess. But I made the mistake of taking her to get the costume with me and then of course any princess trumped doctor. So she is Ariel this year. The other day she asked me if she could be three costumes all at once. Ariel, a spider and a fence? Where did she come up with a fence. Funny girl.
4 - She got really sick this past week. Sicker then she has ever been. The past 2 times she has been sick I was lucky if I could get her to take a nap. If you know Payton you know she never sits still. She is constantly on the go. She has taken 2 naps almost every day this week and she asked to take them. Poor girl.
5 - My absolute favorite thing since Preschool has started is that everyday when I pick her up she says "Mommy I missed you so much at preschool!" I just love it.

1- He can sit up now and he is so proud of himself for it.
2 - He finally sleeps through the night. Hallelujah. He sleeps from 7-6 and then I feed him and he goes back to bed until 8:30. It is glorious!
3 - He was not interested in eating purees when I first gave them to him around 5 months old. When he turned 6 months and still wanted nothing to do with them I tried an alternative route. I just gave him big chunks of food that we were eating. He loved it. His favorites are softened apples, sweet potato fries, cucumbers, avocado, pears and bananas. So far he has only not been interested in broccoli and steamed carrots. He LOVES to eat now. And the nice thing is that at dinner time I get to eat too and not spend the whole time at dinner spoon feeding him.
4 - He is such a happy and relaxed baby. I feel so blessed to have him as my second child. Especially the past week when Payton has been sick. He is completely content playing independently while I have been taking care of P.
5 -After he is done eating he starts putting the extra food in his mouth and gumming it and then spitting it out. He thinks it is the funniest thing ever. Me not so much.
